While several thousand Central American migrants are working their way towards Tijuana a contingent of nearly 80 people from the LGBT community are already in the northern Mexican city.
The now separated group says their travel was paid for by an anonymous organization after they were discriminated against by people in the caravan, according to NBC7 San Diego.
They are currently resting in the city before they make their way to the port of entry in San Ysidro or Otay Mesa to ask for political asylum.
'Very happy, truthfully, grateful to God especially because he has given us the opportunity to be here,' Nehemías de León, who arrived in Tijuana with his boyfriend, Erick Dubón'I said.

A group of members of the LGBT community, who separated from the caravan of Central American migrants are travelling through Mexico, arrives to the border city of Tijuana, from where they will ask for asylum to the United States
The LGBT members of the break off faction of the caravan said they were discriminated against in the caravan like they were in their own countries
'I think to do bad, you don't have to migrate to another country. You just stay where you are,' de León added. 'But I think we're going for a better life. We want to work. We want to be what we've always been — honorable people.'
While they say there was no violence against them in the caravan, they were denied essentials.
Another member of the migrant LGBT community, César Mejía, told reporters 'Even to bathe was a big problem, and when we wanted to shower there was no water ... same with food.'
Meanwhile the main Central American migrants started Monday hitching rides toward the western Mexico city of Guadalajara as they prepare to hit the Pacific coast route northward.
The route to the border city of Tijuana is still about 1,550 miles away, and the caravan has been traveling for over a month. By the time they reach Guadalajara they will have covered about 1,185 miles for the majority coming from Honduras.
Whereas the migrants suffered from the heat in southern Mexico in mid-October, they now trek to highways wrapped in blankets to fend off the morning chill.
Migrants gathered Monday on a highway leading out of the central city of Irapuato and looked to climb aboard trucks to take them to Guadalajara.
Police helped find trucks to take migrants on their way, and prevented them from trying to stop drivers themselves as they continue on to the US.

The migrant caravan of people, mostly from Honduras, have been traveling for over a month and trekked almost 1,200 miles with another 1,500 to go before they hit the San Diego port of entry in Tijuana
Honduran migrant Karen Martinez started walking with her three children bundled against the cold.
Martinez said: 'Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, but we keep on going.'
On Sunday, they made their way from west of the central Mexico city of Queretaro 62 miles to Irapuato.
Saturday night into Sunday morning they spent the night in three shelters, the biggest of which was a soccer stadium.
The government of Queretaro said via Twitter that 6,531 migrants had moved through the state between Friday and Saturday. It said that 5,771 of those were departing Sunday morning.
The size of the leading caravan seems to have grown since the group was in Mexico City for several days, raising the possibility that other migrants from trailing groups have joined the main caravan.
In the US they will likely be greeted by US military personnel who have been busy installing barbed wire along the border.
A day earlier a similar scene played out as the migrant caravan exited Mexico City.
Dedicated metro trains moved them across the capital before dawn and at a toll plaza north of the city they formed orderly lines to wait for their turn to climb aboard passing 18-wheelers that were willing to help them cover the 124 miles to Queretaro.

The migrants appear to be on a path to Tijuana across the border from San Diego, which is still some 1,600 miles away.
The caravan became a campaign issue in midterm elections.
Trump ordered the deployment of over 5,000 military troops to the border to fend off the migrants.
The troops are now expected to remain stationed there until mid-December as part of the operation to respond to the caravan.
Trump has also insinuated without proof that there are criminals or even terrorists in the group.
Many migrants say they are fleeing rampant poverty, gang violence and political instability primarily in the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, and they have now been on the road for weeks.
Mexico has offered refuge, asylum or work visas to the migrants, and its government said 2,697 temporary visas had been issued to individuals and families to cover them while they wait for the 45-day application process for a more permanent status.
But most vowed to continue to the United States.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
